Q:

The average number of visitors of a library in the first 4 days of a week was 58. The average for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th days was 60.If the number of visitors on the 1st and 5th days were in the ratio 8 : 9. Then what is the number of visitors on the 5th day of the library ?

A) 54 B) 64
C) 68 D) 72
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 72

Explanation:

If number of visitors on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th day are k, l, m, n & o respectively, then
k + l + m + n = 58 x 4 = 232 ---- (i) &
l + m + n + o = 60 x 4 = 240 ---- (ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get
o-k = 8 ---(iii)
Given, k/o = 8/9 ----(iv)
So from (iii) & (iv), we get
a = 64, e = 72
Therefore, number of visitors on 5th day is 72.

Q:

The Ankle is a third-class lever.

A) TRUE B) FALSE
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) FALSE

Explanation:

False. The ankle is not the third-class lever in the body.


 


Levers are typically labeled as first class, second class, or third class. All three types are found in the body, but most levers in the human body are third class.

First-class levers in the human body are rare and have the axis (fulcrum) located between the weight (resistance) and the force. One example is the joint between the head and the first vertebra.


In a second-class lever, the weight (resistance) is located between the axis (fulcrum) and the force. An example of a second-class lever in the human body is found in the lower leg when someone stands on tiptoes


In a third-class lever, the most common in the human body, force is applied between the resistance (weight) and the axis (fulcrum). There are numerous third-class levers in the human body; one example can be illustrated in the elbow joint.
